Yolanda Foster revealed she isn’t alone in her battle against Lyme disease: Two of her children have had a brush with the tickborne illness, too
“When my two youngest children, Bella and Anwar, were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in early 2012, watching my babies struggle in silence in order to support me in my journey, struck the deepest core of hopelessness inside of me,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said Thursday night of daughter Bella Hadid, 18, and Anwar Hadid, 16, at the Global Lyme Alliance inaugural gala.
Foster, 51, who was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, was surrounded by family and friends – including Bella, Anwar, daughter Gigi, husband David Foster, her mother and Gigi’s boyfriend Joe Jonas– when she accepted the “Power of One” award in New York. READ MORE.
How can any Lyme patient help but love Yolanda. She is doing all she can to help us by bringing awareness. I can’t help but wonder how many conventional doctors curse her every night when they go to bed. I am not even a little surprised that her children have to deal with Lyme too. What a blessing though, to find out when they are young so they can get treated and avoid the pitfalls of having Lyme all your life and not even knowing it. I have children with Lyme too, but since Lyme took my income, and I can’t even get them to listen, they will suffer the consequences given time. My symptoms were mild, relatively speaking, when I was so young too. But I have a daughter with PCOS (really an infection), and I see symptoms in the others as well. At least Yolanda’s children listen and will find out how to overcome this dreadful disease.
